I can't give you anything but love.... a-a-a-and this image of a painting that I just did.

Happy Mother's Day! 💖 ....and here's some bison joy! In April of this year, a baby bison was born on sacred ancestral land in Canada. This was the first wild birth of a bison since 1876! I want to celebrate this revival of the American Bison species, the renewal of the earth and mother's day with this colored pencil drawing. . . . . . .

More #tbt #drawings I did in 2013 that kind of came out of a stream of conciousness while I listened to a cd of goddess music! Which unfortunately I don't remember who the artist was nor the name of the cd. #goddess #goddessart #streamofconsciousness #colorpencil #worksonpaper #artistoninstagram #drawingtomusic #alteredstate #faceofthegoddess https://www.instagram.com/p/B2VeW6HDPzt/?igshid=190i5bewtros9

I'm a little behind in my posting. This #sketch was dine on the #boardwalk on a small #beach on the #snakeriver in #newjersey when I was there in #June It's a #public beach, but there was almost no one ever there. The guy walking his #dog in the drawing, actually came over to see what I was #sketching and I told him he was in it! He liked that and we had a nice chat. A minute after that, a bizarre thing happened. While standing there looking down at the beach, continuing to #draw, a woman came toward me with her camera aimed toward me. I am naturally friendly and was in a good mood because of the previous conversation and so I smiled at this person and asked, "Are you taking my picture?" Actually, I had to ask twice....She said nothing to me and started walking away. I called after her and asked "Hey, can you do me a favor?" And then louder, because I thought she didn't hear me, "I wanted to ask if you can tag me on Instagram if you post it?" She completely ignored me! She even walked back past me, still completely ignoring me. Even as I shouted a few choice foul words her way. It was #rude #creepy #invasive and #fuckedup basically. The one nice thing that came out of it is that @billylatshaw who was still walking back and forth on the boardwalk with his #pup Mattie, was there and helped me process the #effedup -ness of it. Thanks Billy! And here's the pic finally! #jerseyshore #thisisnewjersey #people are #effing #cray #everywhere tho. #pendrawing on my #journal #notebook #paper Don't mind the #lines I kind of like them!

I have been drawing and/or painting every morning. After a couple of days of making small, not very interesting, somewhat unintelligible, pencil sketches in the morning, the results have quickly grown to acrylic sketches like these. Here I am in New Jersey, painting right into this fabulous journal that I got at a secondhand bookshop in New Orleans! It's 8x10, my favorite size! I don't think I've ever drawn a big cloud swept sky like that ....I was at the park across from where I'm staying - without my sketchbook (note to self: no more of that!) - the sky was beautiful after a very hard rain. I just memorized the great swathes of clouds and went back to the house to do a quick sketch in this journal. The day before, I had done the calm water with boats, directly from the park #sharkriver #jerseyshore #newjersey #bythesea by the sea, by the #beautiful #sea #quicksketch #acrylic on #paper #acryliconpaper #travelingartist #clouds #river #cloudswept #sky always carry your #sketchbook #journals make great #sketchbooks #boats #boatsonariver #mystudio #negativeions are so positive! #work by #water if you can (at Neptune City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/harrietfaithartstudio/p/BzAUdCxjkkp/?igshid=nqlfmw7o04di
